“Christina exceeded my expectations with her care. Upon returning from my trip, my apartment did not smell like cat litter or poop. The cat litter area and food area was super tidy, and my cat looked happy and healthy. Christina was very communicative and detailed throughout her visits, and made me feel at ease while I was on my trip that Aria (my cat) was safe and well fed. Upon meeting Christina she was super professional, prompt, and very attentive to all of the details I gave her about feeding info and care. I would definitely book again and can recommend her to anyone who’s looking for professional care and reliability!”
“Layla was great! She was very responsive and communicative throughout the booking with sending pictures and updates. I felt that my cat Magnus was well taken care of. I would definitely book her again!”
About: I have spent my entire life around animals. My home has been shared with cats, dogs, snakes, birds, a rabbit, an iguana. I was also a veterinarian assistant for over a year. I took care of any and every animal that walked through our doors; cats, dogs, ferrets, birds, rabbits. Animals of all sizes. I walked, fed, bathed and cleaned up after them. I cared for them as if they were my own. I am currently working from home but my schedule can be flexible. Let me know in advance when you need me and I will try my best to make it work! I always make sure their sleeping area is clean and tidy and I always make sure there is available fresh water. Food is given at a schedule dependent on the individuals needs. I give plenty of time for play/attention to ensure that they always feel loved and never lonely. Sometimes they want to be left alone and I respect that as well.
“We came on this app in a bind and just randomly chose someone who seemed nice. Diana and Drew turned out to be awesome! They actually played with our cats along with feeding them. Our shy cat even came out to meet them! Next time we go out of town, we will definitely ask them to watch our cats again!”
“Kaitlin is my go-to babysitter for my cat Aria and I will continue to book her! She is reliable, consistent, and super communicative which helps me be more at ease while I’m away!!”
About: I was a pre-vet student in undergrad and have over 500 hours of experience volunteering and assisting at an animal clinic. I am experienced with giving medication including insulin shots which I have personally administered to our family dog for 8 years. I have a medium sized dog of my own who is very sweet and loves other pets. Since she’s a little older now, she may play with your pup or just snuggle next to them depending on their energy level. I like going on runs and walks and I am happy to bring your pup along with me if they are up to it. Your dog will receive lots of love and have fun. They will be able to let some energy out or just relax. I used to pet sit on rover a few years ago and took a break to focus on my career. I have extra time now and would love to care for your baby while you’re away. I usually am home by 3-4pm during the week and can go home at lunch to give a potty relief. On the weekends I am home full time. I typically do short walks in the morning and evenings with a longer walk in the middle of the day. If your dog needs potty breaks more frequently I can accommodate that. I allow dogs to free roam and on all furniture. If you prefer they are kenneled I also have a kennel they can use when I am not home. No one lives below me so they are free to jump around and have fun.
About: I had a dog from age 11 to 14, and that’s really where it started. I was the one feeding him, walking him, cleaning up after him, basically learning firsthand what it means to actually care for a dog. Now I’m studying psychology in college, and I’ve been diving into dog behavior and body language on the side and I love it. I’m currently working part time and looking for another way to spend my time so i’d be more than welcome to look after your cats or dogs, whatever is needed. My availability changes weekly due to my part time job, but I’m very flexible. Book at least 3 days ahead and I’ll do my best to make it happen. I only do pet care at clients homes, and I’m always respectful of your space. I don’t touch anything that doesn’t need to be touched, and I make sure your pet is safe, comfortable, and well cared for while you’re away.

About: Hi there! I consider myself to work really well with dogs. As I have two of my own, I know the work and patience it takes to have. Although trusting a stranger to take care of your furry best friend is hard I believe in taking care of them as if they were my own. I’ve been to Ecuador where dogs there are free to roam and know what it’s like to take care of such dogs. Since my family has a farm there they’ve taught me over the years on how to care for animals. I’m always up for adventures with my dog and hope to do the same with yours! Every day won’t be a boring day. I am currently working in the afternoon so my availability is early mornings. After work, late evenings, I am also willing to take time for pet care. I care for pets in my apartment by having them familiarize where to go and where not to go. In my clients home I will ask what the pet likes and doesn’t like doing.
“Great pick. Lauren was friendly and personable in her visit, and really seems to enjoy taking care of the cats. Photos everyday made us know that our cats where being taken care of.”

About: Hi! I’m Eden—a lifelong animal lover with a warm, grounded approach to pet care. I was born and raised on a farm in Louisiana, where I cared for dogs, cats, goats, chickens, and more from a young age. That experience taught me how to read animal behavior, stay calm in any situation, and give every pet the care they need to feel safe and loved. Now living in Jersey with my partner, I pet sit full-time and truly love what I do. My home is especially great for senior dogs—it's stair-free, quiet, and cozy, with plenty of space for your pup to relax. I also offer free transportation for any pets staying in my home, so drop-offs and pick-ups are completely stress-free. I’m also fantastic with puppies! I’m patient, playful, and consistent with routines, which makes me a great match for young dogs learning the ropes. Whether your pet is full of puppy energy or in their golden years, I provide tailored care with lots of love, attention, and experience. When your dog is with me, they’re family. I’d love the chance to meet your furry best friend and make them feel right at home! Pet care works perfectly for me because I’m a working actress, and I pet sit full-time in between gigs. It allows me to have a flexible schedule, give animals my full attention, and spend my days doing something I genuinely love. Whether I’m home or out on walks, your pet always has a calm, present, and caring companion. Safety and trust are at the heart of how I care for every pet, whether in my home or yours. I always take time to understand each pet’s routine, personality, and any special needs or sensitivities. In my home, I provide a calm, clean, and secure environment with no stairs—perfect for senior pets. I also offer free transportation to make drop-off and pick-up stress-free for both pets and owners. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I make sure to follow your specific instructions closely—from feeding schedules to favorite toys—so your pet stays comfortable in their own familiar space. I’m attentive, respectful of your home, and committed to keeping your pet safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. Trust is everything, and I work hard to earn it from both pets and their people.
About: Hey there! I'm a lifelong dog lover who’s fun, dependable, and truly passionate about caring for your pets like they’re my own.

I live with my partner in a spacious, dog-friendly apartment near Hackensack. We’re just steps from the river, so your furry friend can enjoy plenty of fresh air and beautiful walks! I’ve looked after dogs of all breeds, sizes, and temperaments—from high-energy puppies to senior sweethearts—and have also fostered dogs in the past. I know every dog is unique, and I’m happy to follow your dog's routine to help them feel right at home. When your dog stays with me, you can count on frequent updates, lots of photos, and most importantly, loving care. I’m here to make sure your dog feels safe, happy, and well cared for while you’re away. Let’s set up a meet-and-greet—I’d love to get to know you and your furry friend!

“I’ve trusted Eden to care for my 14-year-old corgi, Charlie, for the past two years, and I couldn’t recommend her more highly! Charlie is an older dog who needs a gentle and patient sitter, and she has always treated him with so much love and care. Whether she’s watching him at her house or stopping by mine, I know he’s in great hands. One of the things I really appreciate is that she even offers free pick-up when Charlie stays at her place, which makes things so much easier for me. It’s clear she genuinely loves dogs and takes the responsibility seriously. Charlie always comes home happy and relaxed—which says everything. If you’re looking for someone dependable, kind, and experienced—especially with senior dogs—she’s the one!”
Linda Z.
“Linda took care of my dog while I had stuff going on in the city and needed to board him for few hours. My dog gets a little nervous around loud noises and Linda handled him no problem. When I came to pick him up, he was snuggling next to her and sound asleep. Would definitely hire Linda to take care of my dog again! She's very loving and knows how to care for your furry friends”
Chip G.
“Chip has done an excellent job of watching our dogs anytime we needed him. He follows all instructions we have given him and the dogs love him.
